Four guys from Stuttgart playing melodic punk rock.
They’re all about DIY ethics, and their sound is loud and full of emotion.
Hell & Back have released several EPs, split records, and two full-length albums to date.
They’ve played festivals like Punk Rock Holiday, Booze Cruise, SBÄM Fest, and Obenuse, as well as any skater ramps, breweries, sweaty bars, and youth centers near you. Some highlights include touring the U.S. with Überyou and playing the legendary Fest in Gainesville, Florida.
A new Album titled “A Constant Buzz” has been released on Not Sorry Records, November 29th, 2024.
“There isn’t much to say about this record except that it’s incredibly easy to listen to. Each song feels like it hits all the right points, and before you know it the record is over and you want to listen again.”
Karol Kamiński, IDIOTEQ
“….Die zwölf Tracks finden schlüssig zusammen, das Niveau ist für eine auf diesem Level agierende Band insgesamt ausgesprochen hoch – hier hört man 15 Jahre einschlägige Erfahrung. Auf Albumlänge mangelt es weder an Dynamik noch an Ideenvielfalt, gerade deshalb stellt sich die Frage, wann das bisherige Punkrock-Schema für HELL & BACK zu eng werden wird. „A Constant Buzz“ deutet das bei vielen Gelegenheiten an. Die Beantwortung dieser Frage wird wohl wieder ein paar Jahre auf sich warten lassen. Heute bleiben HELL & BACK mit „A Constant Buzz“ in Tempo und Stimmung konstant upbeat und eine offensichtliche Empfehlung für Fans von FACE TO FACE, HOT WATER MUSIC oder MILLENCOLIN.“
Ingo Rieser, FUZE
“Hell And Back are the cornerstone of German org-core / Gainesville punk (or whatever you want to call well-tempered melodic punk music). The extremely lovable and handsome gentlemen from Stuttgart spread more joy than any child in front of a mountain of Legos. Energetic and musically virtuosic, they charm the audience at every show with great songs and profound lyrics. They also organize the legendary Hellfest at Juha West, helping to keep the aging scene alive. A band you definitely can’t miss!”
